أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام ) قَالَ أَيُّمَا دَابَّةٍ اسْتَصْعَبَتْ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا مِنْ لِجَامٍ وَ نِفَارٍ فَلْيَقْرَأْ فِي أُذُنِهَا أَوْ عَلَيْهَا أَ فَغَيْرَ دِينِ اللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَ لَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ طَوْعاً وَ كَرْهاً وَ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ .
14. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘Ubaydah from one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘ Abd Allah) who has said the following: “If any stumper becomes difficult with the owner in harnessing or running away in fright, he must read in its ear or on it, ‘Do you want something other than the religion of Allah, when all who are in the skies and earth are submitted to Him voluntarily, or by force and to Him they all return.’ (3:83)”
